REALITY SUCKS!
What you need to do is what Bill did.....MUSCLE CAR! Then no worries!19"s in the front 20"s in the rear!
Exactly what I said in PM. The slammed looks belongs on cars. Trucks are work vehicles. Let them work instead by giving them the gear they need to perform well instead of neutering them.Lasonic TRC-920 said:
Of course all this is PERSONAL preference (as long as your towing safely). But I have never been able to get my head around car mod's that don't IMPROVE performance. I respect custom jobs and cars like Low Riders. But me personally, if it doesn't make it faster or handle better than whats the point?Superduper said:
I'm a low and slow kinda guy. I guess I'm not your average hill-billy 
I can still use the truck as a truck, what bugs me is when guys have their trucks jacked up, big tires, KC lights, push bars, winches, and they drive their truck to work as an insurance agent and it NEVER leaves city streets!
I'm trying to hit a little of the towing capacity for minimal driving (1hr-2hrs tops), and get maybe 1.5" lower, and a bit bigger wheel. My truck is setup with great suspension, 2500 motor, 2500 trans, HD tow package, weight distribution hitch, etc..... These trucks come factory with 22" wheels, so having a 22" is no sweat, 2 more inches is never a bad thing ask my wife!
The only reason this topic got started was because my factory polished 20's have horrible scaling under the clear coat and also bad peeling. Perfect for winter wheels if I decide to upgrade. AND the tires on the truck now are also bad for towing, the side walls are way too soft.

No no, not me. I mean for YOU. I've been stuck before with not enough tires. Not doing that again ever.
I personally hate big lifted trucks with all the gadgets...i much prefer a truck dropped with a nice paint job, and huge wheels. I wouldn't worry about towing stuff blu with your truck and big wheels...my friends pull 38" boats with Cadillac Escalades with HUGE rims and rubber band tires without issue
That being said...i LOVE 4X4 mud bogging with huge trucks in the wild...THAT is fun

That's the absolute WORST! We call those CHICK RIGS because they never see the dirt!blu_fuz said:
If you want your truck to stand out in the crowd, I've got one word for you: 'Crossplys' - old school baby! 
Yay! I always used to put X plies on three wheelers as ir's better to drift and slip than to grip and trip! It's so embarrassing having tipped a Bond or Reliant tripod on a left hander and being on the side that hit the road, just too far away from the passenger door to open it and get out, though when I have done that at least the cars were light enough to put back on their wheels manually and continue with the journey.jimmyjimmy19702010 said:If you want your truck to stand out in the crowd, I've got one word for you: 'Crossplys' - old school baby!
I wouldn't fancy having to right an inverted 4x4 that could weight the thick end of three tons!
OK, so you'd be far less likely to put a large, four wheeled car on its side but X plies also mean that you get to have the same kind of tail-out fun at 30mph in an old RWD like a Datsun Sunny that you'd need to be travelling at 90mph to experience on modern radials with modern cars.
I keep the OEM...on my BMW.Reli said:
The higher one goes for the rim size the thinner the tire gets and lose the tire cushion and overall riding comfort. It loses the classy and royal looks for the car. I am too old for that.
I often see some old wrinkly fa*ts sitting in cars like that with very thin tires on biggest chrome wheels one can get that can lift the fender. Eeeks!
